Jew-haters Susan Chang-Kim, Matthew Patashnick and Cristen Kromm were all permanently removed from their administrative roles in July and have been sent packing from the Ivy League university, according to a spokesperson who  told the New York Times.

The three stooges were placed on leave after their anti-Semitic chain of texts were disclosed during a panel discussion about anti-Semitism on the largely anti-Semitic campus.

Columbia's vice dean and chief administrative officer Susan Chang-Kim, was among the university top staff  placed on leave in the wake of the text exchanges.

Cristen Kromm, dean of undergraduate student life, sent queasy and vomiting face emojis in the group chat with fellow university leaders in reference to an op-ed written by the campus rabbi decrying the rise of antisemitic sentiment on campus.

Now she can vomit off campus.

BREAKING: Younger, dumber brother of former Gov. Cuomo fired from CNN

Chris "Fredo" Cuomo, the younger brother of former Gov. Andrew "Handy Andy" Cuomo, is going to have more time to pump iron in his basement and get buffed for the chicks he likes to grab, like a true Cuomo.

Somehow, the "news" network just learned new revelations about how closely Fredo has been with the situation involving his brother and his political woes with women accusers.

“This is not how I want my time at CNN to end,” Cuomo said in a statement issued by a representative.

He was hoping to end his time with the Comedy News Network with a spinoff to his show, which featured his bromance with comedian Don LeMon. There was nothing cooler on CNN than their humorous handoffs between their respective shows seen by everyone waiting for their flights who could not change channels.

“But I have already told you why and how I helped my brother,” he blathered on. 

It wasn't that he helped his brother; that's commendable. It's that he tried to dig up dirt on Andrew's accusers using his position, and that is unethical and immoral. 

Fredo had previously been suspended by the network and has been warned to stay away from boats on lakes.

CNN confirmed the firing in a statement, and said that Fredo had been “terminated … effective immediately.”

An outside law firm will continue to investigate “his involvement with his brother’s defense.”

It's rumored that he is currently seeking employment as a bouncer while Andrew may be seeking work in politics but at a higher level than governor of a failed state.

Jeffrey Toobin has been seen sitting in Fredo's chair in the studio.

Kentucky cop fired for providing info on fellow cops to BLM organizer

Jervis Middleton, a black police officer, was fired for providing information on his fellow cops to a BLM protest organizer. Evidently race was more important to him than the brotherhood and sisterhood of police.

Middleton was released from duty "shortly after 1 a.m. Friday after a nine-hour police hearing and more than two hours of closed-door deliberations." according to the Herald-Leader newspaper.

The outlet reported that the police chief and internal police disciplinary board recommended Middleton be terminated “for violating several department policies for providing information – including details about officers working during the protest – to Black Lives Matter protest leader Sarah Williams, a friend of Middleton’s.”

The council, which serves as the legislative branch of county government, unanimously found Middleton guilty of “overall misconduct” and “sharing internal police information,” according to the report. Middleton had also been charged with being dishonest about his communications with Williams, a charge that was dismissed.

Middleton challenged his canning, claiming the information he provided Williams did not jeopardize officers’ safety and was free speech, [much like doxxing conservative lawmakers to Antifa thugs]

Sarah Williams

During the hearing on Thursday, Middleton's lawyers said the poor guy faced repeated racial taunts and discrimination from fellow officers and although he apparently never reported these incidents officially, it frustrated him about all of the repeated killings of Black Americans cops kill whenever they get bored, in spite of the fact that the data proves otherwise. In fact, more White men are killed annually than Black folks.

“The ACLU of Kentucky [once an actual and honest civil liberties organization but now has shifted far-Left] is concerned (the) Lexington-Fayette Urban County Council fired Officer Jervis Middleton amidst longstanding calls for a radical transformation of policing and transparent relationships with the public,” said Executive Director Michael Aldridge.

“While Officer Middleton’s actions may warrant some level of disciplinary action, it is particularly concerning he was more swiftly investigated and harshly punished for sharing non-critical information than officers who use excessive force against protesters or create the culture of racism and hostility Middleton reported to no avail.

Keith Horn, a lawyer for the city, said during opening arguments that Middleton told Williams what to say to some officers during protests in May and June and sent her some staffing information, including that police were looking for officers to work overtime to work the protests. 

At first, Middleton lied that he had given the information to Williams and only admitted it after being shown text and other messages from Williams’ phone, which police obtained through a search warrant, Horn said.

The department alleged three misconduct related disciplinary charges against officer Middleton for sending texts, screenshots and strategic operations plans to an activist during last summer’s protests. Middleton was found guilty on two of the three charges.

Fox 56 News acquired 14 pages of information related to the probe through a public records request. According to the documents, Ms. Williams had been arrested last June for multiple charges, including inciting a riot.

“During their investigation a search warrant was obtained for all records located on the phone and the apps downloaded to it,” a report by the Lexington Police Department said. “While reviewing these records concerning conversations between Officer Jervis Middletown and Sarah Williams were located on the Facebook Messenger App and forwarded to the Public Integrity Unit for investigation.”

“Ms. Williams and her followers launched personal attacks and insults towards individual officers, weaponizing information they obtained, in an effort to embarrass the officers, and impair the efficiency of the agency,” the police report continued. “These attacks, along with the other protestors’ demands, created an unduly amount of stress on the officers and impacted their ability to maintain a professional demeanor during the protests.”

“Throughout this time period it appears that Officer Jervis Middleton advised Ms. Williams that certain officers and command staff were ‘racists’ and directed her to call them out during the protest. He also provided her copies of sensitive ‘law enforcement only’ communications, including emails and text messages which outlined staffing, operational, and deployment plans,” the report added.
